The French actor played the role of Mario in the Netflix series So Far So Good and the role of Ishak in the film The Last Queen in 2023.

He was also in the casting of the France 2 television film Aside de ses pompes and Burn out, a film with François Civil.

Already experienced prison

In an interview published a year ago on YouTube, Dimitri Boetto revealed that he had already served time in prison, being “incarcerated for several years for acts of criminal association and possession of weapons. I had the wrong codes. I expressed myself with the codes of a young male full of testosterone and it landed me in prison.”

The suspect was arrested by personnel from the PAF (border police) and the Lyon BAC. The man will be interviewed by the Avignon gendarmes in charge of the investigation.

The victim would be the brother-in-law of Dimitri Boetto, according to Progress and it was a family dispute that allegedly caused the fatal fight.
